 Proper breathing is very important during your workout. I am always reminding people to breath out on every punch or kick. Not a lot, just a little. No one forgets to breath in, but the breathing out part is what is forgotten. You can not breath in unless you breath out. Try to breath into your lower abdomen. I tell people to try and push their belly button out. If your shoulders are moving up and down when you breath then you are not using your full lung capacity. Lastly when you are in between combinations, or workouts, or if you listening while the instructor gives you the next drill, this is a good time to try and slow down your breathing. Try to breath in for 2 seconds and breath out for 4. Then try to breath in for 3 seconds and out for 6. The key is that you breath out twice as long as you breath in. This will help slow your breathing down.
